The way of peace
There is an unavoidable tendency to become literally the embodiment of
that quality upon which one most constantly thinks. Let, therefore, the
object of your meditation be above and not below, so that every time you
revert to it in thought you will be lifted up; let it be pure and unmixed with
any selfish element; so shall your heart become purified and drawn nearer
to Truth, and not defiled and dragged more hopelessly into error.
